Nets vs. Suns: TBG Open Thread

Tonight: The 20-15 Brooklyn Nets host the 12-25 Phoenix Suns at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, at 7:30 P.M. EST. The Nets have won six of seven games since replacing coach Avery Johnson with assistant P.J. Carlesimo. The Suns have gone 1-10 in their last 11 games and are on a four-game losing streak.

Watch & Listen: The game is broadcast on YES Network. Ian Eagle & Jim Spanarkel are on the call. The game is simulcast on radio on WFAN.

Injuries: Joe Johnson is expected to play through illness. Mirza Teletovic is not. Jerry Stackhouse is out with a sore right hamstring. Update: Kris Humphries is also out with a sore left ankle, according to the Nets.

The usually durable Humphries is being hit with a rash of injuries despite playing sparingly. It makes me wonder if a deal has been reached that cant be consummated until the 15th, and they’re avoiding any possible injury.
